Secondary School Redesign

Education leaders across the country are calling for the transformation of the traditional comprehensive high school into a 21st century learning institution that supports college and workforce success for all students. To help states build the capacity to implement research-based practices and policies, CCSSO launched the Secondary School Redesign Project in early 2004 with funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The project supports state education agencies with the planning and implementation of their high school redesign efforts by providing technical assistance in areas that states defined as high priorities. CCSSO’s activities include identifying and disseminating best practices; facilitating ongoing communication with participating states; creating a state network to encourage state sharing and collaboration of redesign policies and programs; and working with technical assistance providers and key national organizations to support state-level efforts in high school redesign.

More resources to guide state efforts to redesign high schools are available along the left navigation bar. The additional resources include CCSSO resources, external organization resources, external policy reports and briefs, research and data, and state-created resources.
